True, but even the third grade thing is kinda weird. Makes me think he was a slow kid. I don't want some middling-intellect normal "Joe" in the white house unless they ended up accomplishing something fantastic, or ran a successful business.
I've received full scholarships for my last two degrees and am quite successful academically and professionally, but... as a kid, my grades sucked for a few years. I had a 'behavior disorder' (I didn't feel like doing everything last thing my socialist weasel teachers told me to).

My daughter had bad grades from 1st to 4th. We held her back and her grades have been A's & B's since then.
I believe it was because she was always the youngest in her class. Making her the oldest gave her more confidence.
I remember the kid that got held back - it was always a stigma and it never went well from what I experienced.
